[CQ-Contest] NS RTTY this Thursday

[Ken K6MR]

Greetings Diddlers:

Pleased to work many of our NS RTTY regulars this past weekend.  Hope everyone had a fun time, though we definitely could have used more activity.  Gee, that sounds familiar…

Anyway, remember it’s only 26 weeks until the next running of the NCJ Sprint!  Didn’t do as well as you had hoped?  Now’s the time to practice those keyboard moves.   And besides, there’s some big RTTY contest this weekend so you might as well get everything tuned up before the weekend.

Here are the details for our usual Thursday evening session:
Friday,  22 Sept 2017, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday, 21 Sept 2017 in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up
-- 80/40/20/15/10 +80kHz up from the band edge  (start checking those higher bands!)
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
